I hope someone savvier then me can imbed the video for the new Mulan preview, but I was wondering who else is excited? I have only seen the Cinderella live action remake and I am excited about Lion King, but Mulan is one of my favorites and I have high hopes for this one. I didn’t see Aladdin because I couldn’t get past Will Smith as the Genie, I don’t love Beauty and the Beast on general principle, and Pete’s Dragon and Jungle Book looked too sad. I am a little disappointed about the lack of singing (Let’s Get Down to Business and Why Can’t I Be are two of my favorite Disney songs) and lack of Mushu, but I am still excited. I think I would rather them not have Mushu if it isn’t Eddie Murphy, so it will be interesting to see how the supposed Phoenix translates. Here is the link for the teaser if you haven’t seen it yet. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mVgdfP7qj7s

I didnt know but I'm excited for it.... I love the songs so I hope there is singing...
I guess no controversy about a white or black girl playing an Asian princess... yay for that..
You should give Aladdin a chance... it's pretty good... even with Will..

I really wish Disney would stop with the live action thing and actually come up with some brand new material for movies. I've only seen Beauty and the Beast thus far. Emma Watson had no business playing Belle, the girl cannot sing, even when auto-tuned within an inch of her life. That said, I will see the Lion King because...well....it's The Lion King and I adore the movie and music. All the rest of them I have no interest in.
I look back fondly at the years when my son was growing up. The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Aladdin, Mulan etc. The heyday of Disney animated feature films IMO....and no they're runing them with live action versions. I guess they're counting on the kids (who are now parents) that grew up with these taking their kids to them?

I have very little interest to see it. If I do, it will be on ABC sometime in the future.
The Disney movies I loved are cartoons and I loved the music. That amount of music/singing in a love action film makes it less for me.
I love Mulan, but I won't be watching this one. I also have no interest in a love action Aladdin and I only want to see the Lion King for Jon Oliver.

The Jungle Book live action was really great. I also remember liking Beauty and the Beast.

I'm not going to see this one and my daughter is passing as well. It's probably one of her top three Disney movies. She's not happy with the major changes.
I haven't really cared for watching the latest Disney movies in a long time since my kids have got older.
I did see Beauty and the Beast. I'm curious what you didn't like about the movie? I thought it was fine. I didn't care for Emma Watson's singing though.
I did not like Pete's Dragon.

So far none of us are excited about it and probably won't bother to see it.

I love the live-action Disney movies! Those of you who don't think you'll like them on principle should give them a chance. Aladdin was amazing!!
Can't wait for The Little Mermaid and The Lion King.

I guess they're counting on the kids (who are now parents) that grew up with these taking their kids to them? I wish they would make some traditional animated films as well, but I just consider these different interpretations of the movies. Like sometimes I enjoy the book and the movie, Mary Poppins and the Wizard of OZ are perfect examples. To me that is what these are like, but I completely understand how you feel. That is one of the reasons I am interested in this one, it seems like it will be different enough that I won’t feel like I am just watching a shot for shot remake. It looks like more of an action movie then the animated movie. I think Lion King will be pretty much the same movie, but I will go to support Donald Glover because I adore him and the animation looks amazing.

I too, was worried about Aladdin. My ds and dd were too, but we went together (big treat for me since we don’t live in the same state and just happened to be on vacation together when it came out). We were all very pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
I’m looking forward to Lion King and didn’t even know they were doing Mulan. It looks pretty good.
Beauty and the Beast was the biggest disappointment to me.

I’m a HUGE Disney fan and I LOVE the princess movies, but I just don’t get the live action remakes. Stop it already.

I didn’t see the live action version, I just don’t love the animated movie and had no desire to see the adaptation. I know for most people Beauty and the Beast is their favorite Disney movie, but it is by far my least favorite princess movie and well down on the list of all Disney animated movies. I don’t love the music, I didn’t care for the overall story and I really hate how Beast looks as a human. I did think the Be Our Guest scene was beautiful and I love Angela Lansbury, but I just really don’t enjoy the film the way I do other Disney films. Give me Sleeping Beauty, The Rescuers, Mulan, Pete’s Dragon, Jungle Book, 101 Dalmatians, or just about anything besides Home on the Range or Oliver and Company before Beauty and the Beast. I was told Pete’s Dragon was very sad which is why I never saw that.

Re Beauty and the Beast For me, I tried to watch it when it was on Netflix and couldn’t get through it. It was scene for scene, and in some places word for word, the same as the animated movie, so I just don’t understand the point. It didn’t hold my interest. I just felt like I’ve already seen THIS movie, please make a DIFFERENT movie. For example, I loved Maleficent and The Descendants. Telling the story from a different angle is cool. Beauty and the Beast just wasn’t different or visually interesting enough for me to care for 90 minutes. I like Beauty and the Beast, I like Emma Watson, I like Ewan McGregor, but god damn I was bored.

I enjoyed the live action Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. I couldn't watch Pete's Dragon all the way through, I kept falling asleep. At some point I will watch Aladdin but I'm not going to go to a theater to see it. The Little Mermaid was my favorite Disney movie growing up so I will watch the live action of that one too. Overall, like other posters, I just wish Disney would go back to making original movies. I am so sick of all the remakes. Not just on these animated classics but the constant super hero remakes as well. Let's see something new please.
ETA: Regarding Mulan, I did not like it in it's original form so I highly doubt I'll watch the new one. Just one that didn't click with me.

I loved Mulan, but part of its awesomeness were the songs — and I'm not big on musicals.
One of my camp friends is actually an actor in the live action Mulan so I may see it just to support him. I enjoyed the live action Aladdin, but it was definitely not as good as the animated original. I will say, though, that I was pleasantly surprised with Will Smith as the genie. I thought I wouldn't like him in that role at all, but he was actually great.

I am a little disappointed about the lack of singing (Let’s Get Down to Business and Why Can’t I Be are two of my favorite Disney songs) Mulan is one of my favorites and I love the music "Reflection" is my favorite Disney song ever and I'm disappointed that I won't hear it in the Live Action but I am sure the movie will still be great and I will go see it for sure.

I loved the teaser trailer. From what I've heard, they're basing it on the Ballad of Hua Mulan. She'll be a lot more badass in this movie. Also, she won't fall in love with a general, she'll be a general.
It looks like it will stick closer to Chinese culture too. Let's face it, Mulan's dress and makeup in the animated version looked more Japanese than Chinese.
